Proposal to establish a new award to recognize the most active two-sword athlete
Former Reds and Nationals GM Jim Bowden is proposing a new award for Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who is active in two-way fighting. He selected this season’s All MLB Team (Best Nine) on the US sports site “The Athletic”. He chose Otani in the DH division, but later mentioned on his Twitter that he should have chosen Alvarez as a “mistake”. He called for a unique frame for two-way wrestlers, saying, “We should establish a unicorn award.”
Although he said, “Alvarez had a great year,” he said, “I mightn’t find a scenario where Ohtani wouldn’t be chosen,” and chose Ohtani in the DH category. As a pitcher this season, he has an ERA of 2.33, 15 wins (6 losses), and 219 strikeouts. 273 batting average, 34 homers and 95 RBIs, he suggested the establishment of a new award, saying, “We should establish a unicorn award for the best two-way player.” He added, “Even if Ohtani’s competitors may never show up, he deserves his own prize. He’s that good, and I’ve never seen anything like him on this planet.” ” he praised.
He also mentioned the American League MVP race with Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge. “Ohtani had another MVP-worthy season, but he’s expected to finish second to Judges in the AL MVP race. But for me, MLB’s Player of the Year is It’s Ohtani,” he claims.
The Cy Young Award, which is given to the most active pitcher of the year, the Hank Aaron Award, which is given to the best hitter, and the Edgar Martinez Award, which is given to the best designated hitter (DH). There are several awards that have been named following Otani, but in the near future, an award with Otani’s name may be created.
